They make an incision, pull the detached muscle into place, lace sutures through the tendon, drill holes into the bone, and then they anchor the sutures into the bone. Then they immobilize the affected appendage. The duration of immobilization depends on which tendon was reattached. Typically, immobilization ceases after 4-12 weeks, and then several weeks to several months of physical therapy ensues.
